Added synthetic CLI tests only and kept scoring, observed-behavior comparison, model/backend calls, routing/admission integration, ledger writes, runtime behavior, and adversarial/tampering expansion out of scope. - Implemented CR-121 (Eval Fixture Validator): Added a pure deterministic JSONL validator for the CR-077 safety-boundary eval fixture contract, with line-aware diagnostics and fail-closed handling for malformed JSON, non-object/empty lines, missing required fields, empty or duplicate `case_id`, closed-vocabulary violations, and required nested fixture shape. Added synthetic unit tests only and kept `tc eval`, scoring, model/backend calls, routing/admission integration, ledger writes, and adversarial tampering tests out of scope. - Implemented CR-120 (Telemetry Lane Release Hygiene): Added a docs-only post-merge hygiene note for the completed CR-117 through CR-119 lane, marked the reviewer checkpoint/release-hygiene candidate complete, and corrected stale telemetry brief wording that could confuse the CR-114 reviewer checkpoint with the CR-119 probe validation gate. No runtime code, schemas, tests, CLI behavior, routing, ledger writes, probe execution, endpoint calls, tags, or model/backend calls were changed. - Implemented CR-119 (Local Backend Telemetry Probe Validation Gate): Added a fail-closed emission gate for local backend telemetry probe results so every `LocalBackendProbeRecord` round-trips through the CR-118 `local_backend_probe_record.v1` validator before the probe returns, renders, or writes it as an observation. The gate applies to both reachable records and fail-closed probe observations, and contract-validation failure raises `ProbeInputError` instead of producing a successful probe result. No new backend types, probe endpoints, model calls, routing integration, circuit breakers, degraded modes, ledger writes, or CLI behavior were added. diff --git a/docs/change/requests/CR-122-eval-fixture-validation-cli.md b/docs/change/requests/CR-122-eval-fixture-validation-cli.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..542363a --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/change/requests/CR-122-eval-fixture-validation-cli.md @@ -0,0 +1,36 @@ +# CR-122: Eval Fixture Validation CLI + +## Status + +Implemented (validator CLI only) + +## Summary + +Expose the CR-121 eval fixture validator through a narrow `tc eval` +subcommand so reviewers can validate an explicit safety-boundary fixture JSONL +file without scoring cases or executing any evaluation workflow. + +## Scope + +- Add `tc eval validate-fixtures --input `. +- Reuse `triage_core.eval_fixture_validator.load_eval_fixture_jsonl`. +- Print a bounded success message with the number of cases checked. +- Fail closed with line-aware diagnostics for invalid fixtures. +- Fail closed with reason-coded missing/read failure handling. +- Add synthetic CLI tests only. +- Update backlog, changelog, and eval fixture docs after focused tests pass. + +## Non-Goals + +- No scoring or observed-behavior comparison. +- No new actual outcome contract fields. +- No model, completion, chat, embedding, backend, endpoint, or network calls. +- No routing, admission, ledger, identity, approval, or runtime integration. +- No adversarial tampering tests. +- No new fixture families or expansion of `safety_boundaries_v0.jsonl`. + +## Validation + +- Focused: `python -m pytest -q tests/test_eval_fixture_cli.py tests/test_eval_fixture_validator.py` -> 15 passed +- Focused eval surface: `python -m pytest -q tests/test_eval_fixture_cli.py tests/test_eval_fixture_validator.py tests/test_tc_cli.py tests/test_eval_review_cli.py` -> 37 passed +- Full suite: `python -m pytest -q` -> 931 passed, 2 skipped diff --git a/docs/current_backlog.md b/docs/current_backlog.md index a48b934..7aa9ac2 100644 --- a/docs/current_backlog.md +++ b/docs/current_backlog.md @@ -6,6 +6,10 @@ This document summarizes the active TriageCore backlog after CR-115. ## Active GitHub Backlog +- CR-122: Eval Fixture Validation CLI + - Status: complete via CR-122 (validator CLI only) + - Purpose: Expose the CR-121 safety-boundary eval fixture validator through `tc eval validate-fixtures --input `, with bounded pass output and fail-closed line-aware diagnostics, while keeping scoring, observed-behavior comparison, model/backend calls, routing/admission integration, ledger writes, runtime behavior, and adversarial/tampering expansion out of scope. + - CR-121: Eval Fixture Validator - Status: complete via CR-121 (validator-only) - Purpose: Add a pure deterministic JSONL validator for the CR-077 safety-boundary eval fixture contract, with line-aware diagnostics and fail-closed checks for malformed JSON, missing required fields, empty/duplicate `case_id`, and closed-vocabulary violations, while keeping `tc eval`, scoring, model calls, routing/admission integration, ledger writes, and adversarial tampering tests out of scope. @@ -116,7 +120,7 @@ This document summarizes the active TriageCore backlog after CR-115. - Empirical AI safety evaluation track - Source: CR-076 and CR-077 research framing/eval taxonomy docs - - Status: research question, threat model, eval taxonomy, fixture schema, toy boundary fixtures, **TC-EVAL-001 (Export Actual Outcome Contract Files)**, **TC-EVAL-002 (Actual Outcome Export CLI Smoke)**, **[x] TC-EVAL-003 (Map One Real Internal Decision Path Into the Export Contract)**, **[x] TC-EVAL-004 (Export One Real Privacy Scanner Actual)**, **[x] TC-EVAL-005 / 006 / 007 (Privacy Reason Normalization)** documented;
